Stadia was still a system you buy. What I’m talking about here is having a browser based gaming system where any computer could be used to play games, for subscription price of course.

There are in fact currently places on the web that offer such services for Minecraft.

And I’ll bet you anything they’ll make the subscription price really low at first. Borrowing from the Netflix model… Then, once consoles and PCs have been outmoded and no one owns anything, they jack the price up.

I said GTA 6 will be the introduction. Not the closer.

As any drug dealer can tell you, you have to give them a taste in order to get them addicted then you can start to really charge them for the good stuff.

I’d like to see you try to build a PC right now for less than $1,500. The cornered the market on all of the parts necessary to make a computer that can run games well.

I love how nobody here is getting me actual picture. They’re not going to sell Xbox to people anymore. What’s going to happen is they’re going to turn to a subscriber model where you have to log into a data center that they control and use your browser to play video games. Paying a monthly subscription for the privilege of playing their exclusive games. In fact I will bet money that the first product that will be introduced with this feature is going to be the highly anticipated upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6.

Mark my words. Either at the time of release or shortly thereafter they’re going to introduce the ability to subscribe to play GTA 6 in your browser on a remote gaming system. And then they’re going to phase out physical Xbox systems over the next couple of years.

Hive mind would imply that people are simply following along and not making decisions on their own. I read the article and was thinking that the way they went about it was a fairly good use of AI to actually implement code.

Then I read the article posted by someone in this comment section about how the author and creator of ladybird is not only a homophobic asshole but an out and out racist. If you support him and use this then you are, by association, a homophobe and a racist.

So fuck you 🖕 as well.

Not running down Signal or any other e2ee client out there. But there are in fact ways to prevent the recipient from retaining and, at least via the device they are using to receive the messages, copying the data within messages. Several banking apps actually include such measures. And perhaps even having a Mission Impossible-esque self destruct on the message where it re-encrypts and then deletes the messages after they have been viewed is a viable way to prevent retention. It would not prevent somebody from using another device to snap a picture of the information in the message, but it would definitely cut down on people’s ability to easily leak private conversations that are intended to stay that way.

There’s no problem with Signal’s encryption. It’s the same issue with any and to end encryption scheme, at either end is a person who can very easily copy and paste everything that has been said in the conversation and send it off to anybody they wish.

Because it makes for a good distraction from actual problems that they don’t care to solve because those problems would require them to heavily tax millionaires and billionaires.

The truly fucked up thing is that that book is (very loosely) based on a true story.

How about Kid Rock on Saturday Night Live talking about not waiting till the Olsen twins turn 18 literally saying “If there’s grass on the field, play ball!”. If you didn’t know, the Olsen twins were famous for their portrayal of the baby/toddler in Full House as well as a plethora of children’s adventure videos starring them at various super young ages.

This is the same Kid Rock who sang lyrics about child sex in a children’s movie and just headlined the Alt-Right Superbowl not-quite-halftime show.

Good thing I don’t use Discord.

Time for a return to Inter-Relay Chat.

Not going to lie, as a recent convert, this is not very off the mark. 😅 😎🐧

I will never cast a vote for Gavin Newsom. I don’t give a shit about his stance on AI. His stance on the rich corporations is to gove them what they want which is just Trump lite.

My question is whether or not disabling the AI feature also disabled the feature that have had AI integrated into them. The article is unclear on that.

There’s deworming product you can buy, it’s not expensive and it’s pretty standard. It’s something you feed them with a feeding syringe. The worst part about it is cleaning up the mess in the litterbox cause the whole process gives em the runs pretty bad. But it’s over within a week or so.

99% of the time, a swollen hard belly on a kitten means it’s infested with worms though.

LoL, if you think this is them scaling back something. Think again. This is the next evolution of their business. They’re trying to phase out people using grocery stores and in person stores in general.

And yet Pepto Bismol is found in huge quantities on every drugstore shelf in the world. How will they ever find enough?? 😂

There is also the fact that AI is being shoved into a lot of places where it really is quite useless. Search engines are the most glaring example of this. LLMs aren’t suited for integration into a search engine, and yet every search engine in existence has had one mashed into it and advertised as the greatest thing since sliced bread. And they all universally suck at it.

I haven’t read the article. I’m not going to read the article because I, quite frankly, don’t care about these people and I hope they all fucking crash and burn. But I’m going to take a guess and say that their attitude is something on the order of “We’re making tons of money how can they possibly be the bubble?”
